Bonnie and Clyde

What can I say? LOVED it. I'm now in love with Faye Dunaway; she was good in Chinatown but she was simply captivating as Bonnie Parker. Warren Beatty's Clyde Barrow has just enough swagger and casual sexual appeal to make you care and just enough smarmyness to make you remember he is a criminal. Estelle Parsons (whom I had the pleasure of seeing in August: Osage Co.) won an Oscar for her role as Blanche Barrow, but honestly I just found her irritating. The extent to her acting was screaming at Bonnie and sobbing at being blinded. Regardless, I love the idea that fact that they took a 1950's era gangster flick and shot it in a very modern approach, with innovative camera angles, not glorifying the violence, and showing the emotional dynamic between Bonnie and Clyde. I think the best scene in the movie is when, while on the run, Bonnie asks Clyde, who is in bed next to her, what he would do if they could do it all over again. Clueless to Bonnie's dreams, Clyde responds he'd continuing robbing banks, but to do so in states they didn't live in. The next shot is a broken, tired Bonnie finally realizing that the end of the road has come, trying hide her disappointment from Clyde. Kudos to Beatty who produced the movie.
